So I have had this problem for a while. As far as i can tell no one else has reported it. But i doubt i am the only one with the issue.

So when i alt-tab to a different window in linux, coming back to eve has to noticeable issues.

First the padlock comes up in the overview and the overview won't sort or properly remove ships that are dead or warped off etc. Its like i have my mouse over the column, even when its not.

Second is that anything i click on (in overview or otherwise), it always does "look-at". Its like i am holding down a key.

The solution is to hit caps lock. I normally hit it twice so that i don't go all caps in local :D.

OS is slackware 14.1 64bit with mulitlib.

Hope this helps someone.

Control is being recorded as being held down when you alt-tab. Control causes the overview to go into 'lock' mode.

Hit control again, and it will go away.

In my case i tried control and it didn't work. Only caps lock. No idea why. I had assumed ctrl at first as well.
